As the complexity of computing systems steadily increases, self-managing systems – as Autonomic Computing Systems (ACS) proposed by IBM – are an adequate approach to minimize ...
The design of large dependable multiprocessor systems requires quick and precise mechanisms for detecting the faulty nodes. The problem of system-level fault diagnosis is computati...
Abstract. Several researchers have proposed the use of threshold cryptographic model to enable secure communication in ad hoc networks without the need of a trusted center. In this...
In this paper we propose two price-based job allocation schemes for computational grids. A grid system tries to solve problems submitted by various grid users by allocating the jo...
This paper presents a formal model for asynchronous distributed systems with servers that may exhibit Byzantine faults or crash and subsequently recover. The model is computationa...
